It is time for part two of our annual Kotaku Splitscreen tradition, where we talk about EVERY VIDEO GAME OF THE YEAR.

This week, Kirk and I go from July to December, covering this summer’s gems (Pyre, Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age) and then getting into the big games of fall, from Star Wars Battlefront II to Assassin’s Creed Origins. We talk about loot boxes, visual novels, and our complicated feelings toward Destiny 2.

(If you missed last week’s episode, covering January through June, it’s right here.)
